Do you live for previews the way that we do? They're always so exciting, like getting to peek in a present before you open it. We've got plenty of previews to cover for this episode of Massively Speaking, but we won't let it stop us from our solemn duty to be silly and recite risque limericks.

Why you sit? Why you sit when there is so much to be done? Every minute you spend sitting, a thousand NPCs die a gruesome death that could have been prevented by your immortal battle prowess! But you sit. You sit and you admire daffodils as you ignore the noise of innocents in peril. Hope that's on...

Bree's the red Power Ranger. Justin's the what-does-the-fox-say fox. Together, they are way too old to trick or treat, but they're doing it anyway. Afterward, they're going to eat some candy, get a really good sugar high going, and record a podcast IN ALL CAPS. Wanna listen?

Humans like patterns. We like categories. We like pairing things up, making flow charts, and organizing the crap out of the universe. So don't blame us for basing an entire podcast around paired-up news stories. We're only human, after all.

Space: The final frontier. Except for double-space, that place is off its rocker, yo! And then there's smurf-space, but that's like normal space only more blue. In this interstellar episode of Massively Speaking, Bree returns from her successful attempt to strongarm a certain studio into finally ma...

Astute listeners might notice that there's a 43-minute gap in the middle of today's episode. That's because MJ, having stayed up a record 98 hours, decided that we were all pod people and the only solution was to gas the studio. Fortunately, she used Lysol, so we merely had to evacuate while everyt...

With Bree out on vay-cay-cay, MJ's stepping up to perform incredible broadcast soliloquies that will bring a tear to your eye, they will. The Massively Speaking co-hosts divide up the show between fantasy and science fiction this week, so no matter where your tastes lay, they've got something for y...

How will Justin deal with the news that the game that got him into MMO blogging and podcasting is soon to be no more? Here's a quick preview: epic wailing and gnashing of teeth. Have you ever heard teeth-gnashing on air? It's pretty gruesome. Catch that and a whole lot more on this emotionally char...

Change. Change never changes. Except when it does and everyone freaks the heck out because why should there be change in our ever-evolving virtual worlds? On the podcast this week, Bree and Justin attempt to make sense of the chaos that is a new warchief, a "free" expansion, a shift in content deli...

The post-convention week is a little quieter for the Massively Speaking podcasters, although studios like Funcom keep sending them curveballs to assess. What does the Massively duo think of new graphics engines and gimmick servers? It's time to find out, and all it'll cost you are your eardrums.

The PAX Prime crew is home from another successful convention, and Justin has plenty of tales to tell Bree. Not that she's listening, of course. She's got mines to craft, and words just get in the way.

Even as the rebel forces of F2P celebrate the destruction of the old restrictive Sub Star, the enemy forces have regrouped and staged a comeback that nobody saw coming. Imperial subs have entered the base! Imperial subs have...
As everyone is freaking out about this newfangled "trend" of subscri...

One of the little-known facts about Massively's staff is that we routinely carjack, helicopterjack, and tankjack our way to work every morning. It's become this competition to one-up each other, which is why Brendan ended up driving the Wienermobile into the parking lot last week. It's also why we'...

It's the dawning of a new age... a grand age... an age of civilization! Unless you live anywhere else but South Korea, in which case you're plumb out of luck. Bree returns to give us her thoughts on EverQuest Next, Justin laments that Civilization Online might never come here, and the two debut a n...

While there was plenty of exciting news coming out of SOE Live this past weekend, one story is dwarfing all of the rest: EverQuest Next. MJ joined us from Las Vegas yesterday to give us the first-hand scoop on all of the juicy details.

Meet Justin, the original MMO hipster. He was playing massively multiplayer online games back when the rest of the world was gaming on the Atari 2600. Meet Bree, the original MMO poser. She claims that she grew up playing Star Wars Galaxies and Ultima Online, but she was really just into Second Lif...

Take our love, take our land, take us where we cannot stand... but you can't take the sky from Bree. Between discussing the official Firefly MMO and a Make-a-Wish tale, it's a week of emotional twists and turns for the hosts of Massively Speaking. Bree's being replaced by her stunt double, Shawn, w...

Spreadsheets, seesaws, and songs -- it's going to be a weird, weird show today, folks. Just giving you a heads up about it. Perhaps you should go do something exceedingly normal and boring before giving this a listen so as to counterbalance it. And as always, make sure to take a drink and shout, "M...

We're back after a week off only to find that the news has piled up on our broadcast desk like nobody's business! So naturally we talk about Ewoks for an hour. This is mostly because Larry is on the show today and he's got the little furballs on the mind.

It's been a busy week with medium- and small-sized news running rampant through Massively's thoroughfares. It's also been a weird week full of redundancies, such as a game that's launched getting a launch and another game that had a title getting the exact same title. Face it: MMOs bring out the we...
